Richmond Place

Welcome to Richmond Place

Richmond Place is a particularly handsome Grade II listed building, believed to have been constructed circa 1817. The property is thought to have been built by Thomas Bagnall, a surgeon but also a Sheriff of Chester in 1816. The property was built as a pair of grand Georgian semi-detached residential dwellings. At that time, wealthy people moved away from the overcrowded City Centre and a “fashionable new suburb of stuccoed villas grew up overlooking the river at Boughton”. The building was used for residential purposes until the early to mid-20th Century and has been used as consulting rooms and offices since then. Richmond Place is situated in a superb elevated setting in the suburb of Boughton, located to the east of Chester City Centre. The property commands outstanding southerly views across the River Dee towards the Chester Meadows.
